[Asterisk-Users] Web interface for Asterisk

[Steven P. Donegan]

Well, for *, I fall into the newbie category (not for telephony, VOIP, Internet, *NIX, C, etc - those I've been doing since the
Internet had 3 nodes :-) and each technology mentioned was a newborn)

I believe making it easy for folks to enter the * world will do nothing but sell Digium products, expand/improve *, etc. Keeping it
in a 'you have to be an expert hacker' world will not.

I personally would assist in a PHP (I assume) web GUI effort, and will definitely contribute 'simple' but complete mini-examples of
conf files for * - that seems to be something lacking at present for a newbie like myself. And - yes - I've read the manual from
end-to-end several times already :-)

My testbed is a dual Xeon RedHat box (shows as a 4 CPU setup to top), tomorrow should provide a 4 FXS card and an FXO card and I
have a fully deployed H.323 VOIP environment (Altigen)
to play with. I'll snag a PRI card after I get things squared away - * will be my PBX backup to the Altigen until such a time as it
proves itself superior...

I tend to agree with Steven on this...

If the web form makes it easier for the "newbies" why not, its just
another option....

It could even be expanded to be a dialplan for dunnies (woops, i meant
dummies:-) interface....

Considering all it is, is an interface to write out a .conf file....
